Fort Worth daily gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1887-01-30

by the under arm and shoulder seams.
The half long sleeves have pleated lace
revers and bow at the forearm, and the
straight collar covered by rolling collar
of pleated lace is closed under 8 bow o.
narrow ribbon.
Among the odd wooden gowns for home
wear is one in brown with panels or
fancy check. 1t is laced across the
front, and the velvet revers and cuffs are
braided with gold. The now fashionable
Swiss belts are generally worn with full
shocked bodices, which are very becom-
ing to little figures.
Another house dress, made OF new
fancy wooden cloth in carmel'te
brown, is lined throughout with
silk. From the yoke at the neck
fall cream folds of clairette in an un-
broken line to the feet, and the narrow
sleeves have white turn-ba cuffs. \
demUre and very becoming gown IS this
for g pretty woman.
Also for home wear is neat dress OF
soft wooden goods and surah. TIE tabiier
or front of the silk is bordered with e
band Of plush applique. The princess
overdress of woolen stuff has doubled
revers, finished with plush. At each side
back IS gracefully draped
REALLY A LOVELY GOWN.
TIE style may be called Anglo Greek,
the fashions Of our own day. The dress
Itself is of a pOppy-cOl0red satin, very
soft and rich in texture. Over this is
draped the very finest and sOttest crepe
de chine, also poppy red. On one shout
no CT
being gathered on the top of the arm in
classic folds. Thence a long piece
falls perfectly straight, dropping
arm emerging perfectly free rom this
rosy cloud, which forms a diaphanOus
background for the wilderness. There is
70 sleeve on the other arm. Folds of the
crepe are so arranged on the front Of The
bodice as to recall the draperias of a
Greek statue. Each fold is accounted
for. Not one seems to lack g motive.
This is, | fancy, the true art of the mo-
diste. On the skirt, at the left side, the
crepe is in a slender, undulating line,
while on the other, long drapery from
the left shoulder i ms with scarf from
the front, and ties low On the skirt in
careless bow. The satin skirt beneath is
just long enough to rest 8 little on the
ground, and it is edged with tiny pIeat-
ing of either satin or crepe. | think you
will agree with me that that is q lovely
gown Msdge in London Truth.
POLoNAISE REVIVED.
The new French polOnaise is very eff
fective, made of the finest csmeps hair
or ladies' cloth, over plain velvet skirts.
The fronts turn back from belt to hem,
and big white reverS Of velvet ere set
upon these. The front of the CcrSage
also turns back in reverS from the waist
up to the shoulders, and disclOses q vest
of embroidered silk or of satin laid in fine
pieats belted st the waist and terminating
there. At the sides are wide velvet DOCK
cts, and the back Of the polOnaise is very
long AID but little Graped. Sill another
poloraise is like the Russian redjngOte
Worn last winter, and so nearly con-
Ceals the lower dress that only the plain
est skirt is necessary, with q bit OF foot
piesting st the extreme edge. Dark Vio
let heiiotrOpe or navy blue wool diagoralS,
with Persian stripes, are made up in this
style, with dull red velvet accessories as a
finish. Although most of the new designs
in pOlOIaises are severe, long and stately
in effect, there are number of more
bouffant and youthful looking models,
which will appear among the stylish street
costumes of csme's hair and imperial
serge already in preparation for early
spring wear.
